My son and daughter inlaw are on methadone and they both are on medicaid. Is there a Medicaid Dr in birmingham where they can receive a prescription for methadone without having to pay the high cost of the dose wheter it is from pain or from addiction???? Please help me I am on SS and try to help them but I can only do so much. They have tried Suboxone but it made them sick. I would rather see them on methadone than on pills or whatever addiction.

Depending on your state, Methadone clinics are paid by private pay (pt pays), weekly fee about 80 $ to 100 $. Includes meds, counseling, lab tests and Dr. and Nurses. Another form of pay is a block grant sliding scale bringing in proof of income to adjust how much you pay and the grant for your county or state. Also Medicaid & Medicare are accepted most clinics.

Methadone is the cheapest way to detox off opiates but i would not recomand it for anyone as long as there is suboxone and subutex to b had...much better choice and much safer

Get off the methadone, it's one of the hardest drugs to kick! If you're taking it for pain, there's a lot of pain meds that are great for pain and less addictive!! I used methadone for years for pain and decided I had enough with being a slave to it. I've never had any problems with drugs before my injury and being introduced to pain pills, I used Xanax and Ambian to keep calm and sleep while smoking a lot of pot for the pain and withdrawal symptoms. Now I've been clean from all pills for over 10 years. Stay away from the suboxone, it's just as addictive as methadone. The medical marijuana really helps for pain and withdrawals! Never mind the NA bs unless you feel you're a drug addict. Just because you're addicted to pain pills doesn't necessarily mean you're a drug addict. A lot of people just need help getting off the meds then they're ok. Again try medical marijuana, it really helped me get off the pills.

Hey, there are clinics that I know of that are pretty ok from what I hear in Ann Arbor and Livonia. I used to go to the one in Ypsilanti but it was a living NIGHTMARES and thank god closed. But people I know from there go to both of the others and they said those two are much much better in and out. There are a few Drs too, but really you have to have legit pain too. Currently I would check out WestGate Shopping Center in Ann Arbor clinic. At least there are buses in Ann Arbor.
